KASHISH Mumbai International Queer Film Festival is looking for donations. For two years, we have entertained while trying to mainstream queer identities through the medium of films. This year, we promise a bigger show, for queer persons, their families, friends and for Everyone.

KASHISH is the only mainstream queer film festival in India with approval from the Information and Broadcasting Ministry. The film festival is a not-for-profit event and one of the only festival of its kind that doesn’t charge ticket prices or registration fee as we firmly believe we need to reach out to Everyone.

KASHISH 2012 will be held between May 23-27, 2012, at Cinemax Versova in suburban Mumbai and Alliance Francaise de Bombay in South Mumbai. KASHISH is not only a festival that spotlights LGBTQ cinema, but has also become a landmark festival in Mumbai’s cultural event calendar. With no government support and corporate sponsorship in India still difficult to come by, we rely heavily on support from individuals and organizations to make the festival happen. We are crowd-funding the festival this year through Wishberry.in and LGBTSupports.org.

All the money collected is used to cover festival expenses like venue costs, printing and stationery, promotional materials, trophies and awards, travel and stay for filmmakers.This year we have special gifts for Everyone who contributes.
